Coach Fletcher Quote: "Robby Smithson is a junior right-handed pitcher. Robby is another guy who came in with Logan Powell and was forced to pitch early. I wish I could have held them out and picked their games a little more strategically and offered them some more success early on but they are both very strong willed guys. Robby has a big heart and he has pushed through it. He has gotten stronger, and he knows what he has to do to pitch in this league. We need Robby to have a good year."
